Introduction: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OPS) with immediate symmetrization is commonly performed. However, its impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) remains uncertain.
Methods: Patients with stage 0-III breast cancer who underwent OPS (including oncoplastic breast conserving surgery, or nipple- or skin-sparing mastectomy) at a Swiss university hospital between 01/2013-12/2023 who completed a postoperative BREAST-Q questionnaire were identified from a prospectively maintained database. A generalized linear model was used to detect differences in PROs between those who underwent unilateral versus immediate symmetrizing surgery.
Results: Of 441 eligible patients, 333 (75.5 %) underwent unilateral OPS, while 108 (24.5 %) underwent bilateral OPS. Median time to PRO assessment was 35.1 months (Q1-Q3 13.4-49.5). No differences in PROs were identified between patients who underwent unilateral versus bilateral OPS. Short-term surgical morbidity was more common in patients who underwent symmetrizing surgery, which negatively impacted PROs.
Conclusion: The present study did not demonstrate any impact of immediate symmetrization on PROs.

Cardiovascular disease can affect cochlear blood flow and hearing, yet research on hearing loss in chronic stable angina patients is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hearing loss and chronic stable angina and establish association between the type and extent of hearing loss with the severity and duration of chronic stable angina. A cross-sectional study was conducted at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, U.

Background: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the male genitourinary system, characterized by a triad: seminal vesicle cyst, unilateral renal agenesis, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The etiology of this uncommon disease remains largely elusive; however, genetic mutations may contribute to its development. In this report, we present a case of symptomatic Zinner syndrome that was surgically treated, alongside an investigation into the potential genetic basis of the syndrome via whole exome sequencing.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Occult inguinal hernia is a unique clinical challenge characterized by asymptomatic presentation and the absence of detectable signs on physical examination, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. The advancement of laparoscopic hernia surgery has facilitated the identification of occult hernias, yet effective diagnostic and predictive methods remain lacking.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence and clinical characteristics of occult inguinal hernias detected during laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair and to provide evidence-based recommendations for their management.

Purpose: To report the clinical and imaging findings of a patient with right eye progressive vision loss, in whom ocular neurocysticercosis was diagnosed. The patient underwent vitreoretinal surgery with previous antihelmintic treatment, resulting in a successful extraction of the subretinal cyst.
Methods: A patient with subretinal neurocysticercosis underwent a combination of ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, ocular ultrasound, brain MRI, and surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in detecting unilateral and bilateral intra-glandular prostate cancer lesions.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 prostate cancer patients diagnosed via biopsy, all of whom underwent both Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and mpMRI prior to surgery. Two independent readers, blinded to each other's results and to pathology findings, evaluated the imaging modalities to make a diagnosis of unilateral (left or right) or bilateral lesions for suspected prostate lesions.
